A missile car is what happens when you build a drift car too nice to thrash with willful abandon on a track. You get the beater-iest beater that will spin a wheel and go to town. This is how Europe gets that done. »11/18/14 9:00pm 11/18/14 9:00pm

Often times small arms, missiles and even combat vehicles function at such high-speeds that we really can't see exactly how their intricate parts work, or what their projectiles even look like. This is why slowing everything down really gives us an idea of how these systems operate mechanically, and watching them do… »11/07/14 3:33pm 11/07/14 3:33pm

When we go out and blow some insurgent/terrorist/threat to freedom bastard to kingdom come, here's exactly what that kind of missile-on-truck explosion looks like, in slo-mo. »10/14/14 5:32pm 10/14/14 5:32pm

The giant TOPOL-M road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile is one frightening creation of mankind. It can hide in cities, forests, or even nuclear-attack hardened bunkers. It'll travel at over 15,000 MPH while taking evasive action and pumping out decoys on the way to its target. »8/09/14 4:27pm 8/09/14 4:27pm

Last week's downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over the disputed territory of Eastern Ukraine has set off worldwide outcries against the conflict, and calls to better defend commercial airlines from missile attack. But is it even possible to defend civilian jets against military-grade weapons? »7/24/14 12:52pm 7/24/14 12:52pm

I am not sure what to think of this video depicting what looks like an S300 SAM launch. Did it go nuts and the crew destroyed it on command or did it pull off a series of amazing energy depleting maneuvers to accomplish an incredibly close-in intercept? »7/08/14 4:03pm 7/08/14 4:03pm

The Littoral Combat Ship is the bane of many surface warfare experts who see the thin-skinned vessel as a $650M speedboat without a clear mission, or teeth for that matter. After years of denial, the Navy has begun listening to the LCS's detractors and has come to terms with the fact that their plug-and-play wannabe… »4/11/14 2:56pm 4/11/14 2:56pm

Someone launched a missile off the southern California coast Monday night, but neither the Pentagon nor the Navy will claim credit for the rocket launch. So what is it? Where was it going? Video of the mystery missile below. Update.»11/09/10 8:50am 11/09/10 8:50am
